" A musical Hybrid of Modern Rock Genres "
Germinating in 2007, October is a musical hybrid of the modern genres of alternative and progressive rock layered with psychedelia, expressed through the collective musical meeting ground of its six members –
1. Shantanu ‘Shanty’ Sudarshan – Drums
2. Jeffrey Laloo – Bass, Backing Vocals
3. Rohan Panjiar – Guitars
4. Shashvat Pandit – Guitars
5. Amitabh Mukherjee – Vocals
We consider narrowing a band down to a genre as musical racism; therefore we strive to combine anything and everything that cools our beans. A completely secular musical orgy if you will, with its members bringing their unique musical influences to create a sound reflective of the band’s gritty and stark look at its surroundings. We almost completely always believe in playing our original compositions with no regard to the number of cries of 'smoke on the water'. The reason why we named our band 'October' is a well kept secret within the band, and we do not wish to divulge it any time soon. Talk to our mascot (gopi) for details.
Venues rocked by us include – Turquoise Cottage, Café Morrison, Café Chinese and Thai, Mocha Bar, Rock in Rio(Chandigarh), Orca Lounge(Jaipur), Not Just Jazz By the Bay(Mumbai), 10 Downing (Hyderabad), 1 Lounge (Pune), Firangi Paani(Mumbai), Someplace Else(Kolkata).
October was declared Runners up at IIT Kanpur 2008 Synchronicity, 3rd place at BITS Pilani 2009 and has taken part in several other competitions such as IIT Mumbai Mood Indigo as well as played in college festivals at Miranda House, JMC and DCAC.
October released its debut album-Defeat the Question on 19thDec, 2010 at GIR, Delhi where we opened for Meshuggah, Undying Inc and Lucid Recess.
